The sick man of Europe: an Ottoman Empire AAR

[Bombur]

The Russians are mounting a powerful offensive in the Balkan Front. One unit was almost wiped out but were reinforced and the line is holding. To make things even worse, French troops disembarked near Athens.On the other side, a British attack against Basra was easily defeated.

[Bombur]

However, the worst surprise comes from the Russians in the Persian Front: the screenshot tells all.....

[Bombur]

The situation is the Balkans is undefined. Russian forces are weaker than we thought and they are unable to break our defenses, however, we couldn´t complete our line and the enemy has room to outflank us in the northwest

[Bombur]

In the ME Front our offensive against Aden was recalled, as Russian troops are threatening Baghdad, Teheran and Ankara (by 1902 just a small village).

June 1902

The strategic situation is more or less stabilized. Here is the research screenshot

Dec 1902

Allah is on our side and is helping us to defeat the infidels. We were able to surround a large Russian formation near Teheran. The enemy unit is cut from her supply lines and must choose between retreat and anihilation. The Russian units are fleeing from Baghdad and theBritish from Basra. In the Balkans, the Russians are contained, but a French unit has cut the road to Athens

[Bombur]

Our torpedo boats identified the small French unit and it was anihilated by our 6th Balkan Army

June 1903. The Balkan Front is stabilized. Neither side seems to be able to advance, but the Russians are amaasing a large army near Sofia, while we are building lots of machineguns to defend the Front

[Bombur]

The Russians are retreating in the ME Front. Allah allowed us to defeat the infidels, but the Russian invasion delayed our planes for an offensive against the British.

[Bombur]

The Russians were able to break our defensive line in the Balkans. We sent reinforcements but the situation is grim.

[Bombur]

The Russians broke our lines but it seems they forgot to cover their flanks.....

[Bombur]

The encircled Russian units failed to break the siege, but in exchange the Black Sea Fleet effectively destroyed the Ottoman fleet, by eliminating 2 Old Battleships and 1 Armoured Cruiser (75% of our capital ships) Athens is surrounded by British and French troops but the city is being supplied by sea from Constantinopla and the relief forces are arriving....we also developed a new tech. Infantry I will allow us to produce SMG I, Machinegun II and Special Forces I. The ME Front is stable, it´s impossible to post a screenshot now due to troubles with my connection.

And here is the screenshot...finally

[Bombur]

-The military situation is grim. Our fleet was anihilated by the Black Sea Fleet. We were ledt with one armoured cruiser and two torpedo boats. The encircled Russian Armies were able to break the siege and a huge French unit approaches Belgrade. On the other hand, we were able to defeat the British near Athens and the French force is likely doomed.

Here is the ME Front. Our operations against Russia are facing logistical troubles, we cannot go on offensive before buiding a few roads

-March 1905. The Russians were stopped but the French offensive is really dangerous. We built a few transport ships, allowing us to ferry more troops from Constantinople to Salonika. This, in turn, allow us to send more troops to fight the French

[Bombur]
